Absolute gem of a hotel. Hidden away and far from the crowds. Beach side hotel. Secluded location. Fabulous pool. Delicious food. Great service. Rooms were a bit disappointing and very hot! Air conditioning on but set so couldn't change which made the room uncomfortable. Bathroom quite basic however, the rest of the hotel was fantastic. Staff were wonderful. All inclusive with free use of pedalo and kayak when not too windy.

We have just spent 14 nights at Grecotel Meli Palace and have had a fantastic holiday. As we have children of 7 and 5 we spent the majority of our holiday at the hotel. The location is really good and is very quiet. There is a beach at the hotel which has sun loungers on it for hotel guests. The beach is not private but it felt so as we only saw hotel guests using it. Nice little snorkelling spot also and there is a little island you can snorkel around. Felt very safe and there are also lifeguards on the beach.

We spent a lot of time around the pool, which the kids loved. Again this is life guarded and is a good size for swimming. Lifeguards were very friendly and helpful.

Rooms are pretty basic but very clean and comfortable. We had a family room which was perfect for 2 adults and 2 children.

Food was amazing and quality very good. Set times for breakfast, lunch and dinner and there was also food available outside of these times at the outside bar. Service for drinks during meals was very good and staff were really friendly and accommodating. Natalia was one of our waitresses who was very very good. As a whole the staff at Grecotel Meli Palace are brilliant. Very professional and helpful. We could not fault them.

The Entertainment team really helped make our holiday as our girls loved going to the kids club. The staff Vali, Simona, Kaiza, Eli and Maria really went above and beyond to make the experience really special and exciting. They provided some great activities for the children and worked late to run a kids disco 6 nights a week which was a particular highlight for our children. Eli and Simona also worked hard to provide activities for the adults to participate in during the day. There were also evening shows for adults which were all really entertaining.

This really is a great place to stay and is made extra special by the high quality professional staff.

Staff were just wonderful, and I felt like at home! The location is great and quiet, perfect for vacation with toddlers. The food was great, and even buffet for babies - amazing 👏! Thank you for our great stay and wonderful holidays! 🤗

Review of Mali Palace Hotel:

My wife and I recently chose Mali Palace Hotel as the destination for our honeymoon, and it turned out to be a perfect choice for us. This small and intimate hotel offers amazing facilities, with a beautiful beach right outside our doorstep, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable stay.

One of the highlights of our experience at Mali Palace Hotel was the exceptional food and drink offerings. The culinary delights served at the hotel were nothing short of excellent, with a diverse menu that catered to all tastes. Whether we were enjoying a romantic dinner by the beach or sipping cocktails at the bar, every meal was a delightful experience that added to the magic of our honeymoon.

We had a massage it was so perfect and relaxing I think my wife is going to make me book one every week now ,

Beyond the luxurious amenities and stunning location, what truly made our stay special was the warm and friendly staff at Mali Palace Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine hospitality and attentiveness that made us feel truly welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Their dedication to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction went above and beyond our expectations, making our honeymoon even more memorable.

As we reflect on our time at Mali Palace Hotel, we are already looking forward to returning in the future. The hotel's charm, impeccable service, and idyllic setting have left a lasting impression on us, and we cannot thank the staff enough for making our honeymoon truly perfect. If you are seeking a romantic and intimate getaway, Mali Palace Hotel is the ideal choice that promises an unforgettable experience.

I appreciate the services they offer and especially the effort that Mrs. Ana and Mrs.Maria put in for customer care and attention to details.
Unfortunately, the rooms are like a boarding school and the bathroom is run down.
The scenery is beautiful from every angle. The hotel has its own beach with a lifeguard, a pool for children and one for adults.

We spent our honeymoon at this lovely hotel. The staff is very helpful. The food is tasty and varied from day to day. Rooms could use some freshening up. All the public areas are fine and well kept. There was live entertainment every evening. A thing to note that there is no WiFi in hotel rooms, only in public areas. Overall would visit this hotel again for sure.
16.10.2023 Paul
Read all, it’s really bad.

The points are in no particular order.

PUBLIC AREAS:

Restaurant too small, always waiting 20 min

Outdoor area is reduced/closed from 18:00, pavilion from 17:00. you are only allowed to sit on the wicker chairs in front of the bar. No longer on the loungers at the pool, beach or lawn to read a book. You are very rudely shooed away that the area is closed and the sunbeds are then pulled away by the staff.

Very little entertainment. Only Pilates and in the evening small "show"/live music in the "amphitheater" or the fireplace.

Spa/sports area costs extra! 4€ for the equipment, 4€ the sauna, 4€ the whirpool (price for whole day). Day ticket for the whole area 10€ instead of single 12€ but only on demand.

At A la carte double music, there is always music playing from speakers, location of the pavilion next to the amphitheater, you can hear the show there. Very unpleasant during a cozy dinner

No WLAN in the room, only lobby, very very poor, often no connection. Quasi not usable.

Cocktails very loveless, nothing shaken. Many cocktails from the menu can not be ordered because ingredients are not available.

The toilets at the pool disgusting, stink extremely of old urine, everything rusted, are probably never cleaned, early in the morning sand everywhere from the bathers from the previous day, so not even wiped floor.

No toilets near the restaurant, you have to walk to the toilets at the spa/sports area.

There is a single plastic bottle of water in the room for the whole vacation, you have to refill it in the restaurant or bar at the water dispenser.

ROOM:

Room atrocious, poor condition, walls damp, paint peeling, even on the furniture.
Table is a TV bench on a couch table.
Balcony tiny, shared with neighbors.

Beds are mattresses on 4 legs, no headboard, no footboard. 90cm wide.
Feather light the bed frames, once placed in the middle they slide apart and you fall into the gap.
We actually wanted a room with a double bed, there is probably not.

View from the balcony to the bed, curtain too small, no darkening possible.

Air conditioning is only "on" in 1-3 stages of the fan or off. No temperature control possible.

Toilet is visually very unattractive and toilet seat does not fit the toilet, as soon as you sit down you slide to the right or left along with the toilet seat sideways from the bowl.

Shower water is not warm (on 2 whole evenings!!)

Freshly washed towels smell strongly of cigarette smoke.

Incredible amount of dust in the bed and room. Girlfriend combs her hair in the morning, unbelievable amount of dust combed out of the hair, you can see in the brush.

What you could guess before:

Hotel is located in nowhere. Walk to Sisi 1h through the rocky coast, over the road much longer.

Beach is 50m long and gravel. So no beach walks.

Good:

buffet food good,
A-la carte very good, 1x included from a stay of 7 days.

TUI excursions from hotel

Most staff friendly, helpful

I just want to say a huge thank you to every single person working at the Meli Palace.
We were treated like royalty from start to finish. The service went above and beyond, with exciting upgrades and even a birthday cake.
Great location, private beach, lovely pool, entertainment, drinks and food.
The best part though, was how kind and funny everyone is - warm and personable and made us feel like part of the family.
My only piece of constructive feedback is the double beds were uncomfortable, but I’m sure if we’d said anything then they would have come up with a solution (we used the other single mattresses which were much softer so all fine in the end!)
Thank you all, you are amazing!
We can’t wait to come back and bring friends next time!

Really fantastic resort for families with kids of all ages. You can stroll between private beach, bar and swimming pool at your leisure. Staff during the day are super attentive, however perhaps were a little understaffed and under attentive on an evening with a lack of seating.
Food at all times of the day was very very good for a buffet, with a fantastic variety.
The location makes it such a relaxing and peaceful holiday if this is what you are looking for. However, if you like to sight see when you go on holiday, then you will need a car or to use taxi's.
Rooms were perfectly fine for a family holiday, except for the mattresses - they were extremely thin, noisy, and not very comfy at all for adults.
01.07.2023 Martina
This place is fantastic for a real vacation. Quiet, private beach, pool, entertainment throughout the day. The food was amazing!! Staff is superb. Everyone with a smile on their face and really liking their jobs. The hotel cries for renovation. Furniture in rooms is really old and beds, even though they are large, are not very comfortable. Poor quality of drinks used for cocktails, wine was good tho.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
